NXT Blackbaud

Pros

This tool is fantastic for our non-profit organization. It allows us to handle invoice payments, vendor setup and storing important business files such as W9's and contracts. Its functionality is particularly helpful for tasks like sending out 1099's, setting up new projects and vendors, as well as providing the ability to process in-house checks and send out physical or electronic drafts.

Cons

At time accounting-wise, there can be slight inconsistencies in the general ledgers, but nothing major.

Review of Blackbaud Financial Edge NXT

Pros

As a library operating in the non-profit/government sector, Blackbaud serves us exceptionally well as a financial accounting system. They truly understand the unique needs of non-profit organizations and continually strive to develop solutions tailored to those needs. Blackbaud is remarkably user-friendly and facilitates easy training for new employees. The training programs offered by Blackbaud surpass those provided by most other products. We have access to over 20 classes, which can be taken with an online instructor or through e-learning. This comprehensive training has been instrumental in successfully implementing the software across multiple locations and ensuring our staff is well-prepared for their roles within Blackbaud.

Cons

As a government/non-profit agency, we are obligated to use purchase orders. Unfortunately, Blackbaud's purchase order system is not as user-friendly as the rest of the software. However, we have been informed that they are working on moving the purchase order system to WebView, which will introduce several changes to improve the usability of the PO portion. Additionally, we require multi-level approvals on invoices, and the interim solution provided by Blackbaud did not meet our organization's needs, as we are required to have a pre-audit statement on all purchase orders and invoices that are paid.
